Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR focused on expanding HIV care and support services in South Africa. The announcement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-956; CFDA 93.067, Global AIDS) is aimed at strengthening the continuum of care starting immediately after a person is diagnosed with HIV. The central program goal is to improve early identification of people who need services and to keep them engaged over time, with an emphasis on retention in HIV Care and Support from the point of diagnosis onward. The geographic focus is limited to four provinces: Eastern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo, indicating that proposed activities are expected to operate in, or be strongly tied to, those areas.
CDC planned to make about two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of approximately $1,264,000. While the total program amount is a little over $1.2 million, the funding parameters listed for individual awards show a floor of $600,000 and a ceiling of $2,000,000, signaling that award sizes could vary depending on the final scope and negotiated workplans typical of cooperative agreements. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC in areas such as technical guidance, monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR objectives and reporting expectations. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, with an application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The estimated award or funding start timing was listed as prior to September 30, 2009, which aligns with U.S. federal fiscal-year timelines. The program sits within the Health activity category and is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through its Procurement and Grants Office.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common federal applicant categories: U.S. state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit entities (including small businesses and other for-profits). This broad eligibility suggests CDC was open to a range of implementers, including academic partners, NGOs, and private-sector organizations capable of delivering or supporting HIV care and support programming in the specified provinces.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is PGOTIMS (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700.
